186 The Audition
“Me? I’m tone deaf.” Guo Miao hurriedly shook her head.
She had never opened her mouth to sing before, and she knew nothing about music. It was already good enough that she could write songs, let alone sing.
“Your voice is very good. I think as long as you can master the tone, it should be very lovely.” Andy passed the score to Chu Yue. “Chu Yue is a music teacher at the university. She can definitely teach you.”
Guo Miao was a little worried, but she still sat down and listened to Chu Yue’s instructions on how to sing.
Chu Yue discovered something after teaching Guo Miao a few tones. Guo Miao had a good memory and learned things very quickly as if she had five brains.
In a short while, Guo Miao was able to accurately sing a few lines of the melody.
“Then, I’ll try to teach you how to sing the song we’re recording today,” Chu Yue said.
Guo Miao followed Chu Yue’s lead and sang the lyrics one by one. As she sang, Guo Miao felt that she was getting into the mood. She didn’t expect singing to be such a simple matter.
At the end of the song, Andy nodded approvingly. “Your voice is ethereal and a little husky. When you sing the melody, it sounds like a siren is singing. I think our song will be perfect.”
Jenny chimed in, “Yeah, it’s a beautiful song. Your voice is beautiful too.”
Jenny had seen many singers before, and although Guo Miao wasn’t as professional as them, she had a good voice and a good sense of music.
“Then, let’s cut the crap and start recording.”
After an entire afternoon of recording, the song was recorded very quickly.
After making some final adjustments to the song, Andy finally decided to release it at noon the next day.
Chu Jia patted Guo Miao’s shoulder. “You sang this song very well. If you’re interested in becoming an independent singer in the future, you can come to me.”
…
When the song was released, Guo Miao was still having lunch in the classroom.
“I heard that the famous composer, Andy, has a new piece of work to be released today.” Chen Si swiped her phone while saying, “I really like his songs. I’ve listened to the song ‘Can’t Love’ that he wrote for Chu Yue many times. It’s such a moving song.”
Chen Si counted on her fingers as if she was counting her family’s treasures. She was a fan of Andy’s music, and she had bought every single song and album that Andy released.
“Come and listen. I heard that an anonymous singer is going to sing this time. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but he didn’t even reveal his name. If I could sing a song composed by Teacher Andy, I would definitely put my name on the album cover.”
Zhong Nian heard their conversation and said with a smile, “Chen Si, you don’t have to sing with that broken gong voice of yours.”
“What broken gong voice? That’s called husky. Do you understand? Husky!” Chen Si protested.
“I want to hear it too. Can you broadcast it to the public?” Tong Tong, who was playing games on the side, raised his head and looked at the few of them.
Chen Si took off his headphones and started playing the song.
It was mealtime, and most of the students had gone to the canteen. Chen Si and the others had ordered takeout and were preparing to eat in the classroom.
The music and the girl’s singing slowly flowed through the classroom.
A few of the students who had been talking also stopped to appreciate the song.
After the song ended, there were still a few people who were still immersed in the song and did not speak for a long time.
“How is it? It’s nice, right? It’s amazing.” Chen Si hugged her phone. “This song is called ‘Stars’. The lyrics are also very beautiful. Time and space intertwine, saying goodbye to my lover, looking for the warmth of a hug. It’s written so well.”
It was rare for Zhong Nian not to argue with Chen Si, but he nodded. “It’s a beautiful song indeed. I think the girl’s voice is really beautiful, but why does it sound so familiar?”
Tong Tong didn’t say anything. He only looked up at Guo Miao and then continued to play his game.
“It’s nice, isn’t it?” Chen Si asked as he shook Guo Miao.
Guo Miao felt as if her brain was about to be shaken out by Chen Si. “It’s nice, it’s really nice. It’s super nice.”
At the same time, on the other side of Haicheng, Cheng Yu was driving home with Guo Lin.
“You’re not mentally strong enough to go to school yet, so you still need to rest for a while. Stay at home for the time being,” Cheng Yu said.
Guo Lin, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, had her head down. Her face and lips were an unhealthy white, and the dark circles under her eyes seemed very heavy.
“But you have to recover quickly and go to school. I’ve discussed it with your father. Soon, we’ll start preparing to apply for a music academy abroad. After that, you have to get into a school ranked in the top 100 in the world.”
